Parents of Italian children who drop out of school could face jail sentences under new steps to counter juvenile delinquency in the wake of a series of high profile crimes blamed on teenagers.

The measure was part of a crackdown approved by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing cabinet on Thursday in response to public concerns over what the Italian media calls “Baby gangs”. “Juvenile crime is spreading like an oil stain,” Meloni said during a press conference, saying that the state had preferred to shy away from tackling the problem in the past.

Rome also wants to make parental controls on devices easier to use in order to try to limit young people’s access to pornographic material . They were followed last week by the killing in Naples of a24-year-old at the hands of a 17-year-old, allegedly in a row over parking. Such crimes have led the government to vow that there should not be any “no-go zones” in Italy.
